Why do you think this is the only bet? What about things like Snowpack, Vite, and Esbuild?

Those are all great bundlers/dev servers but they aren’t as ambitious as Rome. Rome aims to be the one tool that handles everything: compiling, bundling, testing, linting and everything else.
You can also do that with Deno: - Built in testing library - Lint with `deno lint` - Bundle with `deno bundle` - Format with `deno fmt`
And it will be the one tool that handles everything poorly. Linting (eslint) and testing (jest) are solved problems, there's no way I'll migrate to Rome for these. They should focus on bundling which is the current pain point (although my bet is more on esbuild).
bad examples - the better one is Deno.
